We got lot of rumous about it, but specially after that Death Stranding release date reveal we have been getting rumours about TLoU2 being pushed into 2020 and Death Strading taking its place as Sony's big game late this year.

I just came across a video about an interview with Ellie's voice actress where she is casually asked about when the game is releasing, which is followed by another question as there was no real expectation of an answer for that, but surprisingly she was about to answer the question and was interrupted by that following question and held her horse.

The thing is, she was clearly saying F... which very likely points she was about to say February, before interrupted and probably remembering she can't tell it yet.

Here is the video I'm talking about, you only need to watch some few seconds from the beginning because the rest is the video maker commenting about it himself.

I don't like watching fairly pointless videos because they're a huge waste of time, so I haven't watched this one either. However, it's entirely possible she was trying to formulate a suitable answer, and that answer was going to start with the letter F. Might be February, or might not even be a month.

You should watch it. The part about it is in the first 15 seconds.

After being asked when it's coming, she says: I think it's coming F... then stops.

What could it be?

I think it's coming fairly soon? Maybe.

I think it's coming for (insert something)? Doesn't sound too likely.

I know it could be a lot of things, but to me it feels like the guy in the video might be right, she could be about to say February, it sounds very possible to me.

I think they might target February/March but after Cyberpunk is delayed to fall i expect Last of Us 2 will end up being released in late April to avoid conflict with fellow PS4 exclusive Final Fantasy 7

February has been mentioned from rumours, so it is possible.
I do believe it because I doubt they want it too close to the PS5 launch. Get the game out in Feb, gives them 8 - 9 months to get a PS5 patch ready, and work on a Left Behind/ Lost Legacy esque extra, and then do the inevitable TLou2 re-release with all content on PS5.
